Chapter 744: Hiding in a small building to become a unity
Manchester, Sunset Town.
It is a town next to the sea, located in the upper reaches of a small half-moon shaped bay, with humid air, surrounded by greenery, and surrounded by a wide coastal road of white sand.
Walking along the avenue through the town, at the top of it is a huge garden, lawn, woods and carefully paved cobblestone paths, among which dozens of architectural courtyard buildings with oriental characteristics are scattered, and from a distance, it looks like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Filled with a taste of serenity and serenity.
And here, in fact, is the place where Zhao Xun's family settled after moving overseas.
The city of Manchester is a typical seaport city, hundreds of years ago it was one of the most famous foreign trade ports in the whole sunset, and it is the center city with the largest concentration of merchants from all over the world, so it has always been called "Liujin Port", which means that "commerce is developed, and there is flowing gold everywhere". Especially in recent years, the exchanges between the East and the West have become more and more frequent, and there are many more Oriental faces here.
Zhao Xun's family came here decades ago and slowly took root.
Although there are mixed fish and dragons here, and the Oriental people are not popular with most locals because of their appearance and characteristics, Zhao Xun's family, with the background behind them, has carved out a piece of their own territory here. The entire Sunset Town, almost all the economy, population, and armament are under their control. The enormity of the energy, whether in the official face of Manchester or in the gray area in private, has this impressive strength.
However, this day was obviously different from before, in the quiet and peaceful garden, all the servants and guards held their breath, coming and going, and occasionally someone glanced at the direction of the mansion in the middle hall from a distance, and there was a slight uneasiness in their eyes.
Because at this time, the entire Zhao family, all the descendants who remained in the old mansion, had already gathered together, and a family meeting was being held that could only be held in the most urgent circumstances.
Zhao Xun's father, Zhao Zhen, the banner owner of the "Red Dragon Banner" of this generation of the Zhao family, sat upright, his eyes lowered, although he did not speak, but his face was already iron-blue, obviously his mood had been extremely bad. So much so that the pair of mutton fat jade walnuts in his hand that he often played with were clicked by him hard, and there were a few faint cracks.
Two hours, just two hours.
Even though Su Mingqiu had already issued a gag order to block all news, what happened on Zhao Xun's side still reached the Zhao family through some special channels. Zhao Xun and Sun Huaixiu, husband and wife, with the first-class guards of the Sashku and other families, as well as the personal protection of Mr. An, and dozens of family dead, disappeared quietly in a small hospital of the Manchester Tang Merchants Association. None of them came back.
And according to the most accurate information, his son is apparently dead.
The bad news came, Rao is Zhao Zhen is a person with excellent cultivation, and he is usually happy and angry, but when he encounters this kind of tragic incident of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, he can't help but tremble with anger. Several times, he wanted to gather people and horses, and immediately went to the door to take revenge, but in the end, he still held back his anger, pressed down his grief, and immediately summoned all the descendants of the family.
And the reason why he wants to do this is that Su Mingqiu's potential strength is amazing, and he can't be a little careless, and secondly, this is also related to a major event that has happened recently, even if he is the head of the family, he can't act rashly.
Because of his Zhao family, he is just a member of the organization. The Overseas Revival Society, which aims to be in the world, is really not something that can be controlled by his family name and surname.
"My son......!"
Under Zhao Zhen, there is an old woman in her fifties, although she is not young, but her dress is extremely luxurious, and she is holding a long string of prayer beads in her hand, each bead is carved with good agarwood, the color is like agate, and the dark fragrance is fragrant. But now, no matter how good the agarwood is, it can't soothe the grief in her heart, when Zhao Xun's bad news came, the old woman had already fainted several times from crying, and now as soon as she woke up, she immediately had a sad wail. Suddenly, with a loud scream, the whole person suddenly stopped upward, and with a whoop, a mouthful of blood spurted out!
"Oh, it's not good! The sister-in-law was too angry, and she was afraid that she would hurt her heart and liver, so she quickly called a doctor and sent the eldest lady down to rest ....... ”
The person who spoke was sitting opposite a man in an old-fashioned apricot yellow coat and high boots, who was also in his fifties, and his facial features were four or five points similar to Zhao Zhen. As soon as he spoke, two young men stood up and grabbed the old woman opposite. He seems to speak very strongly.
This person's name is Zhao Chun, and he is Zhao Zhen's younger brother. And the old woman who vomited blood was Zhao Xun's mother, Zhao Zhen's wife, and his sister-in-law.
Although the scenery is long gone, leaving the homeland and being in a foreign land, people like the Zhao family still seem to be living in the past. Not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, all expenses still retain the traditions of the previous dynasty, but also the three wives and four concubines, the children of the family, also live together, the upper and lower are respectful and humble, and the rules are strict.
Zhao Xun's father's generation, five brothers and sisters, except for the two younger sisters who married early, the remaining three brothers, together with their children, all live in this huge mansion. Eat together every day, say hello in the morning, bow down in the evening, and even all the expenses in the family are in charge of a special person, and then distributed according to needs. The descendants of these brothers are also divided by houses, and there are differences between the descendants and the collaterals, although they are all supported by the family, but the treatment is very different.
The whole family still operates according to the traditions of the old school, and is full of the flavor of an ancient eunuch and wealthy family.
And this is obviously the kind of way of life of the magnates of the previous dynasty, and only the old and young like them, who have never forgotten their homeland, refuse to put down their shelves, and have to hide in their own one-third of an acre of land and become self-unified.
There are no rules, and a family can be called a nobleman, but it is not rich and powerful. According to the saying that the sun never sets, if you want to cultivate a nobleman, it will take at least three generations of hard work! So in Zhao Zhen's eyes, even if they lose power now, the rules of being a powerful family cannot be changed or less.
Don't look at the general trend now, but feng shui takes turns, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, such as Zhao Zhen, none of these people will think that he is always a loser. Because the nouveau riche is the nouveau riche, how can a group of people who have no rules even in their own homes govern the whole country.
As the so-called self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, those earth leopards are never nobles!
Zhao Chun, who asked someone to help the eldest lady down to rest, looked nervous on his face, and seemed to be worried, but in fact, he was in a really good mood now, if he wasn't used to his tense face, I was afraid that he would not be able to help snickering now. Because of Zhao Xun's death, it is equivalent to breaking one of Zhao Zhen's arms, and the weakness of Changfang's power is equivalent to giving himself a chance to grow stronger.
This is the way of dumping within the big family, there are more children and grandchildren, but there are so many benefits, then the result will naturally be open and secret.
Therefore, although Zhao Chun was also a little worried about today's incident, he was more secretly relieved, and he was still very happy in his heart.
"It's a pity that the eldest has a son, and that guy Wuji is even better, otherwise if they all die, it will be my family's turn to come out...... ”
His eyes casually swept over the seats of several young people below, and Zhao Chun couldn't help but feel a little regretful while being happy.
Zhao Zhen has two sons, in addition to Zhao Xun, the eldest son Zao Wou-Ki is not at home now, but this person is young and strong, has a wide range of friends, and is very famous in this generation of Fuxing Society. Compared with Zhao Xun, this Zao Wou-Ki is the one he fears the most.
For the rest, as for the three rooms?
Zhao Chun glanced at the tall and well-dressed brother sitting next to him, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This person is the third child of the Zhao family's generation, younger than Zhao Zhen and Zhao Chun, and his children are not very old, and they are still studying outside, so the threat to his house is limited.
"The third child is a reckless man, he only knows how to fight and kill and train generals a day, but there is nothing to worry about. But in order to deal with the boss, it's better to win it over, after all, there are some things I can't say well, and he says it's appropriate. The boss has always trusted him!"
Although the Zhao family has always been in charge of the Crimson Dragon Banner of the previous dynasty, in this generation, the people are not prosperous, especially the descendants of the direct family, together there are less than ten, so although only one Zhao Xun died, it is still a big blow to the entire Zhao family.
In addition, Zhao Xun's wife Sun Huaixiu is still Sun Chengen's relationship. As soon as Zhao Xun dies, this relationship will be broken!!
Although Sun Chengen was only the commander of the Ouchi guard battalion in the previous dynasty, regardless of official status or power, he was far from being able to compare with the banner master of the Crimson Dragon Banner, but now it is not as simple as in the past, Sun Chengen is protecting the unified guest living in Fusang, but his identity and status are no longer just as simple as a former internal guard commander.
It is because of Sun Huaixiu's important relationship that it undoubtedly has a significant impact on the status of the Zhao family in the entire overseas revival society.
"Master, Su Mingqiu killed Xun'er, he didn't take you seriously at all! It's just too much of a deception, the crime deserves death, although our family has gone overseas, but God bless orthodoxy, but it is not such a grass people who can be bullied casually. Shocked and angry, the eldest lady who suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood did not leave the room as Zhao Chun wished, but shook her hands, shook off the arms of the two people around her, and stood up from the chair. His eyes were like torches, staring at his husband's body.
